"Everyone has a song," Robbie Robertson sang in "Making a Noise," about his Mohawk roots. "That's how we know who we are."

Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings today announced that it will release a new compilation of Bob Dylan recordings, “Live 1962 – 1966: Rare Performances from The Copyright Collections,” on July 27, digitally and on CD.
Most of the performances on the album have been previously available only on the extremely limited edition “50th Anniversary / Copyright Extension” albums, three highly-collectible compilations of rare early Dylan recordings released in 2012, 2013 and 2014 in order to prevent the recordings from becoming public domain; the relevant copyright laws have since been changed.
The album features recordings from the artist’s coffeehouse era, his 1963 breakout concerts at New York’s Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, a duet with Joan Baez from the historic March on Washington, performances from his European and world tours of 1965 and 1966 (backed by members of The Band), selections from the 1964 and 1965 Newport Folk Festivals and more.

Midnight in Paris, featuring Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's acting debut, has been selected as opening film for this year's Cannes festival
Midnight in Paris, a Woody Allen comedy that features a cameo by Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, has been selected as the opening night film at this year's Cannes film festival. The picture charts a family's business trip to the French capital and boasts an ensemble cast that includes Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard and Michael Sheen.
"Midnight in Paris is a wonderful love letter to Paris," said festival director Thierry Frémaux. "It's a film in which Woody Allen takes a deeper look at the issues raised in his last films: our relationship with history, art, pleasure and life. His 41st film reveals once again his inspiration."
